Ecuador opposition candidate alleges fraud
Right-wing opposition candidate Guillermo Lasso alleged fraud Sunday in Ecuador's presidential runoff election, vowing to contest results that had his rival Lenin Moreno extending a decade of socialist rule. Moreno, the designated heir to President Rafael Correa's "21st-century socialism," had 51.12 percent of the vote to 48.88 percent for ex-banker Lasso, with 96.21 percent of districts reporting, said the National Electoral Council. Lasso said his campaign had evidence of an attempt to rig the results.
